  Awesome wings. Stadium is a no-frills dark bar with good food and drink specials and large tv's. Quite a solid sports bar offering of Addison. You can actually hear the touch tunes juke box, too, which is a nice touch. Service is fast. There is nothing more to write other than the bathrooms needing a bit of a make over. It's chill, definitely worth a try if you're thirsty.

  So me and my African American boyfriend went to this bar during the Cowboys and Saints game and the bartender named Brittany threw us out because we were saints fans and talking trash I wouldn't recommend this bar!!!!

  My first review was several years ago, but we go here regularly; it's one of our favorite spots in the Addison area, and truly is a "Cheers" kind of bar where we are recognized upon walking in.
  
  The servers always remember our choice of libations and promptly have them at our preferred booth upon seating. (We feel we need a bronze plaque placed there as we always sit in the same one).
  
  Brittany & Ryan are usually the two waitstaff/bartenders who are there on weekends when we go.  They both provide outstanding service in quickly bringing refills when they notice our glasses getting close to empty; they are always friendly, cheerful and pleasant. KUDOS to both for their great attentive service!
  
  I enjoy their BYO burger (prepared medium, grilled onions, Swiss cheese w/tomatoes (extra please) and lettuce), served with crispy well seasoned fries.  You can tell the fries are freshly handmade. no frozen out of the bag here. Not a great picture attached, but it is delicious!
  
  Also, the chef is accommodating in preparing the fish tacos, which are pretty darn tasty, although it is only on the late night menu. This is another favorite of my menu choices.
  
  The ambiance is very quiet & pleasant, not usually crowded on a weekend afternoon therefore making for a nice spot to enjoy our wine and beer catching up on the week's news. Yes, it is a smoking dive bar but most of the smokers are sitting up at the raised bar.
  
  Prices are reasonable, for both food & drink.
  
  Yep, this is our frequent go-to place for a relaxing enjoyable experience.

  I was in Addison on business and I found a ton of restaurants and bars near my hotel to go and check out.  The night I came in here I had a craving for hot wings and was on a mission.   A mission to get a pile of delicious fried wing awesomeness.  I read yelp reviews for about 30 minutes before making my final decision to try this place out.
  
  I'll start with the goods:
  
  good 1. The Wings were AMAZING!   I had an order of 20 wings, reasonably priced and the sauces were so good.  Like really delicious.  Even if they were purchased at wal mart and just dumped on the wings, it was delicious.  
  
  good 2. They have dollar appetizers at night.  I got a huge plate of well seasoned and excellent cooked fries for a dollar.  Those go great with a pile of hot wings awesomeness.
  
  good 3. The bartender was super friendly and made it a point to check in on me and have random conversation.  He knew  I was an outsider and didn't know anybody.
  
  the bads:
  
  bad 1.  It's a dive bar.  This place definitely has an appeal to locals which is cool, but it's dark and dank, only 1 pool table for a large establishment and it's laid out kind of odd.
  
  bad 2.  It's all smoking inside.  Being a former smoker I'm cool with people who smoke having a place to go, but it's nice to have a smoking/non smoking section when food is served.  not  a deal breaker for me but it'll be something to think about should I pop in here again.
  
  Overall good experience with the food and I'd certainly eat it again, but I could only give it a 3 because of the condition of the bar and the smoking policy.

  Been an on-again off-again regular at this sports bar for years.   Highlights include:
  - Best happy hour prices on drinks in Addison
  - Friendly regulars
  - Super friendly wait staff
  - Thursday is half-price off their entire menu
  - Console video games
  - HD big screen TVs
  
  They are known for their wings (original owners were from Buffalo where wings were invented), but my menu favorites include pulled pork sliders, Texas Cheesesteak, and the french fries, which are always superb.
